ir777: That was part of the reason I didn't report it. It didn't fit any of the boxes on the medical and was dismissed, so didn't trigger 18w. 18v specifically asks about DUI (no), DL impacts (none) and educational/rehab attendance (no... not in the formal alcohol classes or traffic school sense, but maybe unsupervised public service qualifies?). I went around talking to aviation attorneys (AOPA legal services paying for itself already) as soon as I got ahold of the court documents and realized it could be a mistake. It was a 50/50 split between report it or not, which in my mind makes it a grey area. The spirit of the question seems to be that the FAA wants to know about alcohol incidents, regardless of the outcome. I love it when even attorneys are confused. I may have caused more trouble for myself, however I'd rather be upfront/honest and mistaken then hauled in front of an ALJ for being a liar (which may happen anyway, but it's harder to prove intent if you have self-reported).
